The two topics we covered this morning were:

The contention that social networks may replace search. A particularly interesting conversation given that the search results continue to decline in quality, and more and more people are now turning to social networks for information. Will Google start to use social information to inform search results?

Skype’s great results. This conversation quickly made a right turn into the territory of whether eBay would sell Skype, and to whom. The leading contender in our minds was Google.
